Significantly boosting production to meet rising demand, Revalyu Resources plans to open its third PET polyester recycling plant in Nashik in Q3, FY25. A part of the company’s $100 million investment plan, the plant will add a capacity of 120 tons daily, allowing the Nashik site to recycle 35 million post-consumer bottles per day, with a total output of 280 tons daily.
Revalyu Resources recently commissioned its second PET polyester recycling plant at Nashik, India. The new facility recycles over 20 million used PET bottles daily, converting them into 160 tons of high-quality PET chips and PET polymer used in textiles, packaging, automotive accessories, and a variety of PET-based products. These recycled materials help customers achieve their sustainability goals across multiple sectors.
Revalyu uses advanced, patented glycolysis-based recycling technology with automated processes, making their operations scalable, profitable, and easily replicable. Their recycled PET production consumes 75 per cent less water and 91 per cent less energy compared to conventional oil-based PET manufacturing.
The company has a proven, scalable, and profitable technology that can transform used PET plastic back into virgin-grade quality PET polymer, notes Dr Vivek Tandon, Founder, Revalyu Group.
The new plant proves the commercial viability of chemical recycling at a global scale while maintaining a minimal environmental impact. The 100 per cent post-consumer recycled polymer manufactured by the plant can replace conventional PET in any application.
Looking ahead, Revalyu plans to establish a 240-ton-per-day PET recycling facility in the U.S. by 2027. Additionally, the company also aims to scale production to over 1,000 tons daily by 2030 through global partnerships.
Germany-headquartered Revalyu Group is owned by Heraeus, one of the top 10 family-owned companies in Germany, and continues to lead innovation in sustainable recycling technology.
